The book of love

Ashley Rainwater 1990 (McCormick SC)

Free verse
The book of love
so sweet and pure

the pages appear empty
look deep inside you can replay your story
in color its alive
your eyes that shine
cast into shallow halos

fold your hands
look up towards that
mystical sky chant your
prayers

the smell of jasmine
throughout the wind

rose pedals fall slowly
along with my tear

deep inside your
your blessed humble heart

that's were your chapter of love
shall appear with your angels
near
